What is Smashed Online?
Smashed Online is a new and dynamic e-learning programme on the causes and consequences of underage drinking for 11-14 year olds. It forms one part of the global Smashed Project which includes both live in-school performances and e-learning resources in over 30 countries worldwide.
The programme is between 60 and 90 minutes long and is framed around a high-quality, cinematic story of three teenagers and their early experiences with alcohol. Featuring a host of interactive activities to improve knowledge, social awareness and decision-making skills around underage drinking, the course is fully linked to the PSHE Association’s Programme of Study for the age group. It can be completed individually by students on any device or delivered as a whole class activity led by teachers on an interactive whiteboard. Smashed Online can be completed short episodes, with user progress tracked to allow users to pick up where they left-off, or as a single 60-90 minute session.
We want young people to learn about the dangers of alcohol in a realistic context, exploring real situations they may face as they grow up. The episodic clips allow students to witness the causes and consequences of underage drinking, developing their confidence and social awareness to make better choices in their own lives.

Feedback from pupils was very positive. This was done at the end of a 4 week project based on alcohol and pulled the task together really nicely. Pupils loved doing it online and getting a certificate for it, which they were proud to show, and was a really easy way for me to "mark" their work. It was good that it wasn't a "school" task.

It was a fantastic resource for our students during lock down. It covered issues which we know were challenging for some students at that time, and the professionalism of the resource package meant that my teachers could focus their energy on adapting follow-up challenges to specific student needs.
Jim Connolly found Smashed Online:
- Significantly builds student knowledge“The impact of alcohol use on relationships”
- Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“Confidence in decision making Confidence in expressing opinions on alcohol use Ability to evaluate the impact of decision making Empathy- looking at an event from a range of perspectives.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“In our case we used Smashed as part of distance learning during the Covid19 lock down, as it came as a well developed package it allowed our staff to concentrate on development of learning, not the resource.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“As mentioned, this was a brilliant package for us during lock-down. It was a great refresher for students who had seen the live performance, and allowed us to introduce a new year group to the story. My teacher's workload was significantly reduced by this resource.”
- Slightly saves school money“It has as we haven't had to organise a school performance, but in all honesty we would prefer a love show once that is possible in the future.”
- Slightly improves school processes“I'm not quite sure what this question means.”
